serioulsy should it be this hard

he seems to have picked up a new bad habbit! jumping up at strangers!! all he seems to do is bl00dy annoy people. I cannot take him to anyones house as all he does is steal things he should have, and generally get up to no good. WHAT am I doing wrong! I read books, do training classes, get advice on here...... this morning walking at 7am.... ( trez dark and quiet) thought oh will pop off lead as no one about, then a guy suddenly appeared he had no dog, he was clearly off to work, now ern NEVER botheres with people but he ran over to this fella and jumped up!!!!!! mad:

if that was me i would be livid! he was annoyed OBVIOUSLY, he was like OH FOR GOD SAKE! totally! off to work and muddy dog jumps up! mad:

I was really disheartened by this! if its not sh1t recall that I just cannot crack (with other dogs about) its picking up new bad habbits!

Sorry, just moaning..... thanks for reading (fed up)

Yeah, same here.
I keep telling myself he's a terrier so hard-going, but it can get really frustrating. It can only get better, ey.

Eeeek, unfortunately I don't have any advice but just keep trying! I've read a lot of posts like this and after a couple of months they come back with a new one saying how proud they are. Good luck lovely.

Sounds like what we do. Stick to your guns, hun.
How old is your dog?

Couldn't get worse heh, actually it could. At least he is a nice dog, very nice nature not a bad bone in his furry body. He just lives 100% on full charge always full on joyful and it's a bit much for most. He is only 14 months and a lab and most say they don't calm until 3 or 4 years

Lol, just had a look at your pics. He looks gorgeous.

He'll be at the stage where he's pushing it, so he's probably just testing how far he can push it with you.
